The Happy Hollows Announce October Release Of Debut Full Length

Acclaimed Los Angeles trio The Happy Hollows have announced the release of their debut full length on October 6th. The album, "Spells" is a culmination of their work with producer and former Mighty Lemon Drops guitarist David Newton (The Little Ones, The Blood Arm), who also produced the group's 2008 EP "Imaginary." Stream the full album now.

Wired Magazine recently described Negahdari as "a killer hybrid of Kim Deal, PJ Harvey and Emily Haines" and added that "Negahdari has the guitar chops, explosive energy and winning sense of humor that should make The Happy Hollows one of the more interesting bands of our new millennium's next decade." The BBC picked them as a band to watch for 2009, the Los Angeles Times has described the group's sound as a "pugilistic mix of stinging guitars, turbulent rhythms, and shouted vocals" that "alternates between childlike experimentation and ferocious firestorm." AllMusic wrote that the band's "appeal is immediate" and LAist has labeled them "a must see!"

Having born and bred their band in various corners of the LA music scene since forming 2006, The Happy Hollows played their first shows in Japanese restaurants, laundromats, and small local clubs. In their first year as a band, they snuck into a studio at night and, in two sessions, recorded "Bunnies and Bombs," an EP that attracted the attention of the LA's underground music scene. After seeing them play a show, established L.A. heroes Silversun Pickups asked The Happy Hollows to open for them at The Wiltern and The Fillmore. In 2008, fellow art-rock outfit Deerhoof invited the Hollows to open for them on their album release shows at The Avalon and The Great American Music Hall.
